The operator will offer an eight-day Svalbard expedition over 17-24 August 2027 followed by a 12-day Antarctic Peninsula sailing from 11-22 March 2028. Both voyages will operate onboard Discoverer, the newest addition to the Polar Latitudes fleet.

The Svalbard itinerary, North to the Midnight Sun, will sail round-trip from Longyearbyen and head towards the northern pack ice, with wildlife and landing opportunities including a polar bear habitat, walrus sites and seabird cliffs.

The Classic Voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula, meanwhile, will operate round-trip from Ushuaia, including a pre-embarkation hotel night. The 12-day itinerary will feature penguin colonies, Zodiac cruises and shore landings among the ice.

Onboard, the halal-friendly programme will exclude pork products and alcohol from cooking and baking. Alcohol will still be available to guests who choose to drink, while soft drinks and mocktails will be included with lunch and dinner.

The ship's wellness facilities will also operate rotating men-only, women-only and mixed sessions, with the daily schedule published onboard.

"When we launched the first halal-friendly Antarctic voyage in the polar industry, it was very humbling to see an idea that had taken years of planning and collaboration finally came to life," said Rashidah Lim, the line's Sales Director for Asia Pacific.

"Due to this great success, we are excited to expand to the Arctic, so guests looking for halal dining options can also enjoy the other side of the world."
